Looking for our best options for spa eyeballs. The plumber installed 2.5" pipes and we are trying to overcome this awkward size. We cannot find traditional fittings of 2.5" and we do not have room for reducers. Gunite is shot. Any thoughts or recommendations?
Spa eyeballs/jets to fit 2.5" piping?

If the plaster is not done I would have the gunite chipped out around the pipes and the 2.5” reduced to 1.5” in the wall.
@AQUA~HOLICS what would you do other then never use that plumber again?

Sorry for the late reply, yes chipping out around the plumbing would work, you need to be careful about damaging the pipes so this process will take time.
Thanks for your expertise. We were able to order the appropriate jet kit.

Glad we found a way that didn't require surgery.
When you get it I would be interested in seeing pictures of how it all fits together.
